JSTOR’s Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) program is now available through ProQuest Rialto and ProQuest OASIS, providing a new option for academic libraries to participate in JSTOR’s ebook program while managing acquisitions through their preferred workflows.
JSTOR’s Demand-Driven Acquisition program offers more than 115,000 ebooks from 300+ scholarly publishers; all titles are available in a DRM-free access model with unlimited simultaneous use. Ebook chapters are integrated with journal articles, primary sources, and images on JSTOR’s platform, making it easy for researchers to cross-search all types of content. With a generous DDA trigger of seven item requests, and tiered savings available, the program ensures a strong value for libraries.
Rialto and OASIS offer flexible workflows and powerful profile management tools that enable libraries to manage DDA as part of their books collection across multiple platforms and content types. Library participants can add titles to DDA manually or through an automated system, view DDA pools across ebook platforms within one workflow, and view real-time DDA indicators that allow all library staff to have a shared awareness of DDA activity. Convenient integrations with leading ILS/LMS systems reduce manual work and provide the information needed to make data-driven profiling decisions.
The wide release of this service follows a pilot period with librarians who provided valuable feedback on the implementation.
